Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders with private land, farm tracks or beach access who want a 500W fat bike from a local brand.
Standout strength
500W of hub power on 26 x 4.0 Kenda tyres with a 720Wh Samsung-cell battery, from a brand with Australian support.
The main compromise
Not a road-legal pedelec as sold, and mechanical disc brakes are basic for a 29kg fat bike.
Consider something else if
You want to ride on roads and shared paths, where the 250W Torrey is the legal choice.
Check before you buy
Only ride it where a 500W bike is allowed. On public roads it is outside the 250W pedelec rules.

Common questions
How much does the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power cost in Australia?
The Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power is listed at $2,155 (sale price at leitner.com.au). eBikeFinder checks pricing against manufacturer and distributor information, and prices can change with sales and stock. This price was last checked on 9 Oct 2026.
Is the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power road legal in Australia?
Not as a bicycle. The Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power sits outside the 250W pedal-assist standard (through higher power or a throttle that drives it beyond walking pace), so in Australia it is treated as a motor vehicle. That means it is for private property or off-road use, not public roads or shared paths, unless registered.
What is the range of the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power?
The Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power has a claimed range of 30 to 75 km from its 720Wh battery. Real-world range is usually lower than the claim, since it depends on assist level, rider weight, terrain and wind.
What motor does the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power have?
The Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power uses a XOFO 48V rear hub, 500W motor, in a rear hub position.
How much does the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power weigh?
The Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power weighs about 28.9 kg. That matters if you need to lift it onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or store it, since e-bikes are heavier than regular bikes because of the motor and battery.
Who sells and backs the Leitner Electric Fat Bike High Power in Australia?
The Leitner range is distributed in Australia by Leitner (Melbourne). Buying from a brand with real Australian support matters most when something needs a warranty claim or a service.
